Minitrix 16108: DB AG class 110.3 electric locomotive, Era V, N scale, DC sound
The Minitrix 16108 Class 110.3 electric locomotive is a highly detailed model of one of the best-known electric locomotives of the Deutsche Bahn AG from Era V. This N-gauge model (1:160) combines modern technology, authentic paintwork and excellent sound functions. It is the perfect choice for model railroaders who are looking for a versatile locomotive for local and long-distance traffic that is both visually and functionally impressive.
Prototype: The Deutsche Bahn AG class 110.3 electric locomotive
The class 110, originally designated E 10, was designed as part of the standard electric locomotives for the German Federal Railroad. The aim was to create a universal locomotive that could be used for both express and commuter services. The underframe series 110.3, with the characteristic "crease" at the front, is considered particularly iconic and combines functionality with an aerodynamic design.
The BR 110 was a familiar sight on German tracks in Era V. In the 1990s, it was given the traffic red livery of Deutsche Bahn AG, which modernized it visually and integrated it harmoniously into the contemporary appearance of the railroad. Its high reliability and versatility continued to make it indispensable during this phase.

With a top speed of 150 km/h, the BR 110.3 was suitable for both express trains and heavy commuter trains. Its good traction and reliable technology made it an all-rounder in the DB fleet.
The Deutsche Bahn AG in Era V
Era V (1990-2006) was a transformative time for the railroads in Germany. After reunification, the Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn merged to form Deutsche Bahn AG. This led to extensive modernization of the rolling stock and infrastructure. Locomotives such as the BR 110.3 were given the distinctive traffic red livery with white DB logo during this phase, which defined the new standards for the appearance of the railroad.
The BR 110.3 continued to play an important role in passenger transport, particularly in regional and local transport, where it played to its strengths as a versatile and robust locomotive. Despite increasing electrification and the use of new railcars such as the Desiro, the class 110.3 remained a familiar part of everyday railroad life.
